'from inside' can be interpreted as 'to catch from inside', not as 'ENOENT from inside'. The same for 'handle errno for inside': 'to handle from inside' or 'errno from inside'? 'to use return value without errno set' is unclear for me. Are not it is intended to give the same idea as the previous 'errno should be reset before xdir_scan()'? If so, it look redundant for me.
